Holy exclusives, Batman! Here's an unusual one to add to the list. Three more versions of the Gari Gari Kun Transformers crossover release have been revealed - this is the one also known as "that Japanese one that turns into a popsicle".

First up is a Grape Gari Gari Kun Robo. He's an exclusive item to the Gari Gari Kun Festival in Shibuya Paco, which is running from 7/14 to 7/25. We are able to share a full gallery of this purple recolor with you by way of the Tagoal Blog - head on over to check it out.

Second and third, there are also prize campaign or Lucky Draw Gari Gari Kun Robos in the works - there's a gold and a silver one, according to posts on this Japanese photostream and Autobase Aiichi on Facebook. No word on how one can go about getting these - but they are very shiny!

Hot Shot.
Trash.

But since no one is going to buy these, the value is going to skyrocket in a year like the old Nike figures did.

I can't be bothered, but it's a good investment.

Anyone know the official name for this? The others were soda and cola. I'd love to grab this for my ex.

This one is "Grape". I kinda want one of these for the sheer craziness of it.

I'm vaguely interested in getting one because the smaller ice cream bar has a 5mm peg -- that is, all compatible Transformers can hold a bar of ice cream!

In fairness, Gaokaiser provided a lot more images and also cited his sources, which allowed me to work out what I was looking at. Please give your sources in future, it helps loads more (even if in Japanese, I can get it translated) than a random pic of a toy I know nothing about.

Cheers!

I posted a review of the original toy here if anyone cares.

God this is the uglyest transformer I have ever seen! I think trypticon poo would look less ugly then this thing! Who in their right minds would have thought this was a good idea? I would not even give this to a child out of fear that the child will have night terrors because of it!

Every time I see a pic of one, all I can think of is Bill Cosby singing "Hey Hey Hey! It's Fat Optimus!"

Alt mode is certainly cleaner than SDCC Onslaught's...

Y'know this is the cartoon mascot for a hugely popular line of ice pops in Japan, right?

I hope to sell some TFs and get some Paypal credits, then the decision is do I go for this or an MP Lambo.

Maybe that sounds like a dumb question, but this looks soooo cool and there is also basically zero chance it will be released at a cheaper price in the US.

Soda Garimus prime battles the evil Grapeist-kun conboi for control of your senses with flavor and SCREAMING!!

"frosty energon sticks are a prime choice to tame those devastating combiner flare ups."

I wish I could exclude these...things...from ever appearing on the front page. I immediately click away from the site when there's "news" about them.

In other words, man, they're hideous.
Kantus Prime
It's so frightening........
Stepper
Ice Cream Optimus Prime,yucks

Even though I know they're just pieces of plastic and bits of metal, I still want them to die.
